Bronzer

Hello All! Summer is approaching us in Northen VA rather slowly this year but that is not stopping me from amping up my makeup routine to add some extra glow.

I took a trip to Sephora and stocked up on some must have highlighting products that I read about in the blog world and to say I am satisfied is an understatement. I have found some true gems and I can not wait to share them with you all.

First of the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop. This highlighter was curated by the Youtube makeup guru Jaclyn Hill. I have been watching her for years and to see her make a beautiful product is truly amazing. This highlighter is like nothing I have ever put on my face before. It glides on the skin perfectly giving your cheek bones the perfect glow , ever. Now this product can be used on the face, body and anywhere you want to give an extra sun kissed look!

Next is the Smashbox Primer Oil this is the perfect base for my dry skin gals. This primer oil leaves the skin smooth and luminous and is not greasy at all! Your foundation glides on smoothly and lasts all day long. If you have dry skin, I highly suggest this product!

Lastly, The Too Faced Sweetheart Bronzer. This bronzer has two shades , one cool tone, and one warmer shade and in the shape of a heart so cute right? Both have a beautiful luminous finish without the glitter (see a trend going on here? all about the glow. ) This is the perfect bronzer for transitioning into summer it is not too warm and gives a perfect sun kissed look.

This has been my go-to summer glow routine, what are your favorite summertime products?

Becca Highlighter 38$ @ Sephora
Smashbox Primer Oil 42$ @ Sephora
Too Faced Bronzer 30$ @Sepora

It’s that time of year again- Finals week! Here is an updated list of the products that are getting me through long nights and early mornings.

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream

When im getting up early in the morning after having zero sleep I don’t have time to have my usual medium-full coverage foundation. I apply the bareMinerals Tinted Gel and it covers just enough and gives me a dewy look that makes me look more awake and fresh.

Urban Decay Cosmetics Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer
To cover the bags under my eyes Urban Decays Weightless concealer is a winner. It gives full coverage and is not drying and lasts all day long. I also apply this to any spots my tinted gel did not cover.

Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer
When im in a rush I skip the blush and contour and just use my favorite bronzer to warm up my skin. The benefit Hoola Bronzer is the perfect color not too orange and not too red and puts some warmth back into my skin making me look like I just arrived from vacation.

CoverGirl Clump Crusher
For mascara I like length more than volume to open up my eyes and make them look more wide which makes me look more awake than I actually am. It gives amazing length and no clumps at all.

Beauty Blender
The Beauty Blender is my all-purpose tool, I use it for my foundation, concealer and bronzer its magic it works for all and since you wet the sponge before it puts some moisture back into your skin perfect for these cold winter days.
Have a great week- and for the students good luck on finals!
